The International Food & Drink Event (IFE) 2017

Tens of thousands of people from all walks of life came together last month to experience the extraordinary variety of food and drink being exhibited at the ExCel centre in London.

Some 30,000 people from 108 countries attended the 20th edition of the International Food & Drink Event (IFE), 19-22 March, to meet suppliers and businesses from over 60 countries and visit over 1200 exhibition stalls showing off the latest culinary delights and food tech.

For five days, the Royal Victoria Dock was the place to be for food enthusiasts and lovers of cultural diversity, with “Great Britain & Ireland” being showcased in one exhibition hall and world “Grocery” directly opposite in another.

For those who couldn’t make it, or did but couldn’t find the time, Feed the Lion has collated a list of all the major national and international Halal and Halal-friendly exhibitors, including exclusive interviews with brand and business representatives, at the UK’s largest food and drink event of the year.

See you again at IFE 2019!
